Multifractional Brownian Motion And Its Applications To Factor Analysis On Consumer Confidence Index, Christopher Box
Multifractional Brownian Motion And Its Applications To Factor Analysis On Consumer Confidence Index, Christopher Box
CMC Senior Theses
This thesis aims at introducing a new way to model time series objects in statistics using multifractional processes. It provides a detailed review of Brownian motion, fractional Brownian motion and extends the above 2 models to multifractional processes. To demonstrate a successful application to the real world, we perform pattern analysis on consumer confidence and household spending behavior. The analysis is conducted through investigating the local Holder regularity of the consumer confidence index and household expenditure. In the analysis, we first model consumer confidence index and household expenditure with a multifractional stochastic processes. We then use the index, pointwise Holder …

Using Twitter Api To Solve The Goat Debate: Michael Jordan Vs. Lebron James, Jordan Trey Leonard
CMC Senior Theses
Using a Twitter API, I gather and analyze tweets by performing sentiment analysis to solve the GOAT debate among professional athletes with the primary focus on comparing Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Athletes from the National Football League (NFL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1 Men's and Women's Basketball were selected to compare how sentiment polarity varies across sports. Sentiment polarity is measured by labeling text as "positive", "neutral", or "negative" which allows us to determine which athlete/sport is highly favored among the Twitter community when it comes …
